Thanksgiving with brain thinning Brains slowly turn into a thick brown mush, madness becomes bright and unbridled, and a maniac turkey with an Indian curse, enchantingly ruined Thanksgiving, goes on a hallucinogenic trip in the style of Hunter Thompson, looking for a missing film about himself beloved. Acid images of brainless heroes, grotesque and absurd, nightmare and macabra, satire and anecdotes are mixed together and there are no limits to this madness.
Shades of masterpiece stupidity was full of the film “Murder Day” from the director Jordan Downey, stupidity and low-budget, which made this picture a kind of discovery in the thrash genre, where, in fact, it will stand out very difficult, given the eternal craving for thrash cinema to bloody excesses and excessive plot simplification.
Assassination Day 3 (2012) was a vivid proof that even thrash can be complex and sophisticated and that the traditions of early Peter Jackson live on and flourish. This picture has become not so much a film in its full-fledged cinematic understanding, as a perverse-parody puppet performance, in which there was room for irony over cannibals from Texas (those who bear the surname Hewitt, of course), over the genre of Western (there are references to Tarantin’s “Django”) and space horror and even over melodrama. Copes with this hot genre cocktail Jordan Downey brilliantly, without crossing the brink of outright idiocy and creating a spectacular comedy horror with a surprisingly unpredictable plot. However, for a better perception of the film, before watching it, the brain is really turned off altogether and enjoy the abundance of grotesque images and the atmosphere of a frivolous, mockingly ironic nightmare, in which a huge turkey with bloodthirsty makeup perfectly coexists, brainless in the direct and portable sense of a Yomi doll, resembling a flattened Paris Hilton and a huge female worm named Rhonda, looking like a German sausage on a low-fat diet. With the presence of such unusual heroes of homo sapiens in the film, there was no place, although people would hardly have come out in this picture Einsteins. Criticism of the American way of life has transformed into irony over Hollywood and the mainstream, and Jordan Downey brilliantly copes with it in Murder Day 3, turning stamping and clicheness into brain-thinning syllogic combinations that cause hysterical laughter.
So, “Murder Day 3” is a good crazy and thrash movie, a bright creation of the works of Ian Schwankmeier and Peter Jackson, the quintessence of poisonous irony and black humor, one of the few thrash films of our time that you want to review.
